100 MILE HOUSE, B.C. — Interior Health says the emergency department at the 100 Mile District General Hospital will be closed for the next seven hours.

In a news release just after 11:15 a.m. Saturday (March 1), Interior Health said the 100 Mile House ER was closed “immediately” with the facility set to reopen at 7:00 p.m. this evening.

Interior Health did not provide a reason for the abrupt closure of the 100 Mile House emergency room, which is usually open 24/7.

“Patients in need of emergency care are being told to head to Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake,” Interior Health said.

As has been the case during past emergency room closures, Interior Health says people in Merritt who need life-saving emergency care should call 9-1-1.
